Day 6: The Quest for Creativity

I have been telling you for a while that I want to
be more creative. I so admire people who have a preference for Conceptual Thinking. Today is Day 7 on my quest to
be innovative. WOW! I cannot believe that I have lasted a full week with a
To-List. The most amazing thing is how much I have actually gotten done. Last Saturday and Sunday I worked
all day, and it didn’t feel like work. I just worked on the first thing(s) that
popped into my head. No pre-planning necessary. It was interesting, however,
how I hit the proverbial wall on Tuesday night.
I spent two days this week interviewing people who have a strong preference for
Conceptual Thinking. I wanted to know how they worked. Interestingly enough,
with the quest to more creative, I have also been fighting the challenge of
being more flexible. I hope I did
not bore you with the week that was. My hope is that I can help you while I am
on my journey. I am curious,
however. This question is meant for those of you who have taken the
Emergenetics profile. Is there a preference (Analytical, Structural, Social,
and Conceptual) in which you would like to have a stronger preference?
